With Hurricane Florence headed straight for North Carolina, the state faces not only a natural disaster but a financial reckoning. According to the most recent totals available, from 2017, the state-created insurance plan had access to about $3 billion in reserves, reinsurance, and contributions … [Read more...] about Potential Insurance Bill From Hurricane Florence Could Take Toll on Wallets Far From North Carolina’s Coast
